Investigate Trump's Truth Social Insider Trading Scheme

Donald Trump is trying to turn the presidency into a private Wall Street trading signal.

Trump Media is reportedly preparing to sell banks and trading firms faster access to Trump’s Truth Social posts through a new "Truth API" data feed. The service could cost tens of thousands of dollars a month and give wealthy firms machine-readable access to market-moving presidential posts before ordinary investors can react.

Trump uses Truth Social to discuss tariffs, foreign affairs, energy policy, individual companies, and other decisions that can move stocks, commodities, and crypto markets within moments. And Trump reportedly still owns roughly 41% of Trump Media, meaning he could personally profit from selling privileged access to his own presidential communications.

Tell SEC Chair Paul Atkins: Investigate Trump Media’s Truth API immediately and determine whether it violates securities laws, market manipulation rules, or investor protection requirements.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff warned that this arrangement "represents a shocking abuse of the office of the President and the trust of the American public for his personal gain." They are right.

If Wall Street firms can pay for a millisecond advantage on the president’s market-moving posts, everyday investors are being put at a rigged table. High-frequency traders could profit while ordinary Americans, retirement savers, and small investors are left behind.

The SEC exists to protect investors and keep markets fair, orderly, and efficient. That means investigating whether Trump Media is selling access to material information in a way that benefits Trump, his company, and wealthy insiders at the public’s expense.

Add your name now and demand the SEC investigate Trump’s Truth Social insider trading scheme before wealthy traders cash in.

The petition to SEC Chair Paul Atkins reads:

"Immediately investigate Trump Media’s Truth API and determine whether selling Wall Street firms faster access to President Trump’s market-moving Truth Social posts violates securities laws, market manipulation rules, insider trading protections, or investor protection requirements. Presidential power must not be converted into a privately sold trading advantage for Trump, his company, and wealthy insiders."
